Actress Bailee Madison is at the center of the film, which was produced and co-written by Guillermo del Toro. It's about a girl, Sally (played by Madison), who, when sent to live with her father (Guy Pearce as Alex) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes as Kim), discovers creatures in her new home that are not friendly -- despite their messages in the dark that state otherwise. The movie was the closing night selection for the Los Angeles Film Festival.
